The cops are backing off that statement as fast as their lips can move. But what “slip of the tongue” tells us about underlying thoughts is pretty awful.
The first confirmation that the Atlanta hate crime shooter was white was that HE WAS TAKEN ALIVE.
How we deal with HEAVILY ARMED White people, including mass murderers:
White teen Dylann Roof — HEAVILY ARMED, had just murdered nine African American churchgoers DURING A PRAYER SERVICE. Taken alive, including stopping for Burger King.
White teen Nikolas Cruz— HEAVILY ARMED, had just murdered 17 high school students (and injured 17 more) ON VALENTINE’S DAY. Taken alive.
White man James Holmes — HEAVILY ARMED, had just murdered twelve moviegoers in an Aurora, Colorado movie theater. Taken alive, without a scratch by the same Aurora Police Department that murdered UNARMED BLACK Elijah McClain for “looking suspicious” while walking home).
White protesters stormed the Michigan capitol brandishing weapons of war to protest public safety rules and there was no police or military response whatsoever. PEACEFUL, UNARMED protesters against race-driven police brutality were driven from Lafayette square in Washington DC by the National Guard and the U.S. Armed Forces, to clear it for Trump’s blasphemous Bible-toting photo op.
White guy Kyle Rittenhouse — HEAVILY ARMED, had just murdered two people and injured another, ignored despite people yelling what he had done, arrested later ALIVE by the same Kenosha Police Department that shot UNARMED BLACK Jacob Blake seven times in the back and left him paralyzed.
What we blurt out is very often what we’re really thinking and feeling. Can anyone have said that “bad day” remark who actually cares about protecting human life? We know the answer, unfortunately.
“Perhaps we should let this young man relax in the holding cell with a Magic Fingers chair. Sir, may we get you some wholesome organic foods while you wait? We presume you prefer no Oriental vegetables that would raise bad memories?” /s
The media needs to STOP saying white man and or black man when reporting a story. They’re the ones who are dividing society by distinguishing race In their reporting! They thrive on sensationalism, causing and aggravating the situation even more to the point of exploitation. There’s good and bad in all of us, people are people…they don’t need to be called out because of their race, religion and or creed!
Pure speculation.. but religion has caused many men (and women) to do irrational things. Aaron Long is not the first to do something foolish due to guilt and shame brought on by religion.
Perhaps… race.. is a convenient diversion and it’s coincidence that the “massage” trade is predominantly Asian.
This garbage will continue so long as we do not have so long as we do not have a national federal standard for the qualifications, screening, education, training and continuing education for law enforcement and the alternative support professionals for specific situations. There also has to be a clear use of deadly force policy.
States rights? Fine. Then you don’t want and will not receive the federal dollars that are given to the states every year which seem to spend it as if their locale will have air, land and sea invasions by the armed cartels.
I operated under a military deadly force policy within the US for 42 months. It’s not that difficult but takes a lot of training and testing to be sure that it is understood, and I had to do it for a unit that had an average age of 20.5 years and a high school education l
Having known and worked with a number of addicts (of varying forms of addiction) trying to recover from same, I know that it’s possible for one to have “a bad day.” But to offer up a “having a bad day” as a justification of murder is ludicrous. Almost as ludicrous as the so-called “affluenza defense.”
There are stories coming from the RW that are claiming that the majority of the violence against Asians is being done by black people. They don’t link to any numbers, they just claim they are from the FBI. The real kicker is the numbers they are claiming are from 2018. The increase in violence is tied to Trump’s horrifying racist statements about Covid (I won’t repeat that racist garbage here) and these idiots want to talk about alleged numbers from 2018.

Of course, after this mass shooting (at multiple locations that were miles apart, no less), they think that it wasn’t premeditated at all…
